Richard Dawson live in session

Newcastle vocalist, stomping guitar shredder and storyteller Richard Dawson is gaining attention for his powerful voice and brutal ballads. He's appeared on the cover of The Wire magazine, and secured a deal with Domino imprint, Weird World - also home to Kody Neilson’s project, Silicon.

Currently on tour as part of the Audio Foundation’s Alt Music series, Richard pops into the Music 101 for a live session and a chat with Emma Smith.
